(Report of the Deputy Chief Executive). The report seeks approval of an award of contract to the preferred bidder to deliver phases three to five of the Haringey 54,000 Programme.

The Leader of the Council considered a report, previously circulated, which outlined the procurement process undertaken to identify a strategic partner to deliver the Haringey 54,000 Programme and that also sought approval to an award of contract to the winning bidder.

RESOLVED:

That the award of contract to the preferred bidder iMPOWER, for the sum of £2,000,000 to deliver phases 3 to 5 of the Haringey 54,000 Programme, be approved.  

Alternative options considered

Two further suppliers were considered as part of the procurement process. The scores for both of these bidders are outlined in Table 3 as detailed in the report.

The option to ‘do nothing’ was explored and evaluated as not viable. This option would not have provided a suitable or safe enough platform to deliver children and young people’s services from for the foreseeable future.

Reasons for decision

The Haringey 54,000 Programme is underway and this decision is critical to ensuring continuity of delivery.
